We are doing a great job in 1st grade. We are well into our plant unit and our butterfly unit will be beginning as soon as our caterpillars arrive in the mail.
-Don't forget our class incentive (Smencils for all!) if everyone logs their Road to Success minutes each evening this week. Speaking of Road to Success, let's keep logging so we can get to our class goal by June.
-We have a field trip planned for Tuesday, May 26th to Smith's Marketplace (to learn about goods and services) and then to Veteran's Memorial Park for a picnic. It will be 9:30-12:30. Please email me if you can chaperone. We'd love to have you.
-The 1st grade has had a guest speaker for each of our IB units. However, we do not have one lined up for this unit about science. If you or anyone you know would like to present to the 1st grade, please let me know.
-I know it's approaching the end of the year, but we are all out of pencils and almost out of disinfecting wipes and Kleenix. If you could bring some in, it would be much appreciated.
-We are making a "pasta" version of the butterfly life cycle and are in need of: 1 box tricolor rotini, 1 box regular rotini, 1 box rigatoni or penne, and 2 boxes of bowtie pasta. This is such a fun project. Let me know if you can help with any of these items.
-Don't forget about the IB Leadership award! If you need some initials from classwork items to be checked off, please have your student bring it in.
-I assessed all students last week on words per minute read and EVERY student jumped up considerably from their fall scores. Yay!
-This is the LAST week of Math homework! We have finished the entire 1st grade math core! That doesn't mean we are done with math in class, but there will be no more book work. We have review games, story problems, math activities and more that we will be doing during our regular math time daily. A BOOK REPORT sheet will take the place of the math pages. I will go over it with your student. It's not too complicated, but please help your student break it up or begin it early in the week. It can be a lot to do in one night.
Thanks for all you do!
